Before coming to Christ, Brian lived an “experiential” life. He spent a decade serving in the United States Navy, working in intelligence, and traveling the world. By his own account, it was a life marked by sin and spiritual emptiness, absent of the truth of the gospel. “The more I pursued my own desires,” he shared, “the more pointless it all became.”
At age 32, a friend lovingly shared the gospel with him. Though Brian initially brushed it off, a seed was planted. Months later, he found himself at the lowest point of his life, questioning whether life itself was worth living. It was there, in desperation, that the Lord met him with grace.
God gifted Brian saving faith, opened his eyes to truth, and placed within him an unshakable desire to share the gospel. He immersed himself in Scripture, evangelism, and discipleship, eventually attending Bible school and later helping plant and pastor a church in Charlotte, North Carolina.
A Pivotal Moment with Love Life
In 2016, Brian reluctantly attended his first Love Life prayer walk. Although a skeptic, he encountered something he had never expected: thousands of Christians gathered outside an abortion center, saturated in prayer and worship, under the bold proclamation of the gospel.
During that prayer walk, a speaker addressed those carrying the pain of past abortions, offering hope, healing, and restoration in Christ. Standing beside Brian was his 12-year-old son, who quietly asked, “Dad, do you have abortion in your past?”
In that moment, Brian began to weep, his son hugging and weeping with him. The answer was a sorrowful yes. The message of Christ’s redemption and restoration at the prayer walk revealed a part of Brian’s life that was in need of repair.
In God’s great providence following this prayer walk, Brian and his church became involved in Love Life’s “Restored Life” ministry. A part of Brian’s life that had once been a source of deep brokenness was now being redeemed by God to connect him, his family, and his church to the mission of Love Life.
Answering the Call to Expansion
Several years later, in 2020, as pastors were arrested for praying outside abortion centers during COVID lockdowns, Love Life found itself at a crossroads. That moment became a catalyst, opening doors for Brian to step into a new role as Director of Expansion.
Since then, Love Life has grown from 4 cities to 27, partnering with more than 1,500 churches nationwide. Through prayer walks, adoption weeks, sidewalk outreach, and discipleship, God has used this movement to help save thousands of babies and bring transformation to countless families—including former abortion workers.
“It’s like seeing the Bible in full color,” Brian said. “Darkness to light.”
Love Life exists to equip and encourage churches and pastors, many of whom are exhausted, isolated, and under immense pressure. “We’re not the Church,” Brian emphasized. “We serve the Church,” he explained, so that the Church is well-equipped and able to work against the evil of abortion.
Hope, Unity, and the Church’s Responsibility
One of Brian’s greatest joys is witnessing unity across denominational lines—believers standing shoulder to shoulder for life. At the same time, he is honest about the greatest obstacle: apathy within the Church.
“The biggest hindrance [in the pro-life movement] is inactivity,” he shared. “If the Church won’t stand, why would the culture?”
He further emphasized that the role of the Church in the fight to preserve innocent life is essential–not optional.
Yet Brian remains hopeful. He believes God is calling His people to awaken, to act, and to stand boldly for the image bearers of Christ. In his own words, we must “stand on God’s Word and then trust Him with the results.”
Scripture is clear in that “God loves life,” and makes no distinction between the value of life inside or outside the womb, said Brian. As Christians, Brian stresses, “neither should we.” The call is clear–God’s Word is clear.
Why the Georgia Stand for Life Matters
When asked why Georgians should attend the Georgia Stand for Life, Brian’s answer was simple: this is what the Church is called to do.
“There’s innocent children all across Georgia who are legally allowed to be murdered, to be euthanized, to be discarded as waste.”
The Stand for Life is an opportunity to pray, worship, and stand together to proclaim that every human life bears the image of God and deserves protection from fertilization to natural death.
“Not everyone can do everything,” Brian said. “But everyone can do something.”
We invite you to join us January 30, 2026, at 11 AM to hear Brian’s powerful testimony firsthand and to be part of what God is doing in Georgia. The call to stand for life is urgent—but it is also filled with hope, restoration, and love.
We look forward to standing with you. More information about the Stand for Life can be found here.
